Description
Abstract (cited)
This paper presents new editions, accompanied by translations and textual notes, of two texts associated with the legendary origin of Lough Foyle. These have usually been discussed in terms of their possible relationship with the tale Immram Brain, and it has been argued that both once formed part of the lost compilation Cín Dromma Snechtai. James Carney has suggested that they date from the seventh century; although they are evidently Old Irish, I can find no clear indications that either was written earlier than the eighth century.
